Pittsburgh / Ohio Valley

Event Overview

Well aware of this area’s reputation as one of America’s most hard-nosed regions, we made sure to map out a course as gritty and tenacious as the Mudders sure to run it. A natural Mudder’s haven, this Steel Curtain of a course is littered with sloppy, natural mud holes, grueling elevation changes, heavily-wooded trails and shocking surprises. This place ain’t called Powerline Park for nothin’.

Volunteers

Join our team of Tough Mudder Volunteers (MVPs) and create a life-changing experience for yourself and others. Or, if you’re participating, get your supporters (who are ready for the mud, but not the electric shocks) to volunteer so they can still be part of your day. As an added perk, our MVPs get up to 90% off registration.

We’ll also have a mini Tough Mudder course set up for kids 5+ in Mudder Village. Purchase tickets on site (cash only) for unlimited access to the mini course and activity area for the day, and get 'em training early. $10 for one Mini Mudder, $15 for families with 2+ kids.Download Mini Mudder Waiver

Parking & Check-In

When you arrive

Info
Parking is on-site and all cars will need a parking pass. Purchase it online for only $10. If you wait till event day, parking will be $20 cash. Parking passes can be purchased here (insert link).

To help ensure that you arrive safely and timely, it is extremely important to follow TM’s directions to the venue which are available here (insert link) and below. Your smart phone will take you the wrong way and onto roads where you will encounter issues. Do NOT follow your phone’s directions. Follow Tough Mudder directions. In short, approach the venue on I-70 and use exit 213. Detailed directions are below.

Remember: Drive slowly and safely. You will be driving on winding country roads.

PRO TIP: If you don’t want to rush to the start chute, plan to check in an hour before your start wave.

Day-of Event Registration
On-site participant registration will be based upon space available on Saturday and Sunday. Price will be $220 at the “Day of Event Ticket Sales” tent in the registration area.

Teams
If members of the same team are assigned to different start times, the entire team is permitted to join the latest start time assigned to a team member. Participants may not move to an earlier start time.

PLEASE NOTE: Wherever possible, participants have been assigned to the closest available start time to what they requested when registering for the event. However, due to demand, participants may find that they are not in the start group time they had requested. Please do not contact us requesting a time change.

Mudder Village

Before and after the event

The base area, known as 'Mudder Village' hosts a range of services and activities for you to access throughout the day.

Info Desk
Get your questions answered at the info desk located in the registration check-in area.

Bag Drop
Once you walk through participant registration and get your face marked, head straight to the bag drop tent. Bag drop is for participants only. There is typically a $10 CASH ONLY charge for bag drop, 25% of which goes straight to Wounded Warrior Project. Space is limited, so share a bag with your teammates. If you have pre-purchased bag drop, please make sure to bring your receipt with you and have your photo ID ready.

Entertainment
We’ll be blasting awesome pump-up music in the base area throughout the entire day, along with food, beer and lots of great vibes. Mudders are welcome to sit back and relax before and after their start waves.

Buy Stuff
Merch and concessions will be on sale throughout the day of the event. There will be a limited number of ATMs located in the base area, but we strongly recommend you bring cash with you – service could be interrupted, leaving you sad and hungry.

Feed Yourself
Food and beverages will be on sale throughout the day. You can find these at the concessions area inside the base area. Vegetarian food will also be available. Beer will be available for the duration of the weekend for those who are 21 and over. Drink Responsibly.

Relieve Yourself
Portable toilets for participants and spectators are located in the base area, once you have gone through registration.

Lost and Found
If you find anything that doesn’t belong to you, please, be a model citizen and turn it in at the info desk. If you lose something (trust us, this happens a lot...we once found an engagement ring in the parking lot), check at the info desk. TMHQ takes all unclaimed items at the end of the day, so if the info desk doesn’t have it, you should submit your lost item here. Anything that sits in TMHQ for over 30 days goes straight to the thrift store.

Event Timeline

Event Photos

Our photographers will be out there on the course taking action shots of you and your teammates. In the week after the event, stay tuned for an email with your photos and go to our Facebook page to view the event photo album. In the meantime, go check out our galleries on Mudder Nation.

Tough Mudder Tattoos

Many Mudders like to get a tattoo of our logo to commemorate their achievement. We think this is great, so once you get inked, fill out a tattoo registration entry form to get free entry into a Tough Mudder event of your choice. Please note: our UK, AU and CAN venues don't allow tattoos on-site, so you'll need to find a local establishment that can oblige.
